Hello Again!

Hello again!! 

I realize that it's been a while since I've posted.  It's not that I haven't been working, I've just been "working behind the scenes".  I've been taking some online classes, and have been busy working on and cleaning up my blog, Facebook page, newsletter service, as well as some other computer related things.

Since I'm not the most computer saavy person, it's probably taking me a bit longer than most, but I'm getting there!!  You should start seeing some of the changes in the next couple of weeks!!

I have managed to get some stamping time in though, and I just LOVE everything in the Occasions Mini and Sale-a-Bration catalogs!!

One of sets I'm having the most "fun" with is Mixed Bunch. Here's one of the first samples I made with this set:

Stamps: Mixed Bunch, Thank You Kindly

Ink: Pool Party, Poppy Parade

Card Stock:  Calypso Coral, Very Vanilla, Everyday Enchantment (SAB)

Accessories:  Punches - Blossom, 1" Circle, Ruffled Ribbon - Calypso Coral, Everyday Enchantment Brads, Stampin' Dimensionals

So Many Hearts

So, do you just LOVE the new Occasions Mini?!  I can't believe how much I love this one!

As a demonstrator, we always get the month before it's release to preorder from upcoming catalogs.  Since my "creative vision" is somewhat limited, I usually only order a couple of items until I can see what other, more creative people, do with them!

This Mini was definitely different for me though!!  I orders so much (not as much as I wanted though), AND got to spend some of the Christmas break playing with it all!!

Although I LOVE all of the new products that I got, I am most excited about the new Framelits & Edgelits!!  This card was made using the new Hearts Collection Framelits Die, and a little sneak peak at a Sale-a-Bration stamp set!!

Stamps:  Sprinkled Expressions

Ink:  Riding Hood Red

Card Stock:  Baja Breeze, Blushing Bride, Whisper White, Twitterpated DSP

Accessories:  Big Shot, Hearts Collection Framelits Dies, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, 3/8" Pleated Satin Ribbon - Baja Breeze, Designer Buttons - Twitterpated

If you would like any of the items used to make this project, or would like your own copy of the Occasions Mini, give me a call, email me, or ORDER ONLINE anytime!

Happy Winnie the Pooh Day!

I had no idea!!  Did you?

Every year, on January 18th, we celebrate our favorite bear and all his friends!

We just love Winnie the Pooh here in our house!  I grew up with him, and do did our girls!! 

Here are some pictures of the girls with some our favorites when we visited Disneyworld last year.
